Waves in Dark Matter

Plant Communication

In our early work with W-waves (see the
Wagner paper W-Waves
and Plant Communication published in Northwest Science in 1989) we
found that if we damaged one tree of a particular species such as by chopping
or cutting with a knife we could record a signal from probes in the same tree
above the wound. What was more interesting, however, was that surrounding trees
put out a corresponding, delayed signal. We used signals from three trees to
determine the velocity of signal travel between trees. Insect attack on one
tree has previously been observed to be detected by surrounding trees by other
researchers. The effect was attributed to the movement of pheromones (see, for
example, the references at the end of chapter 3 in Waves in Dark Matter)
but they didn't double check to see if the signal traveled faster than the pheromone
hypothesis indicated. The velocity of the signal (approx 25 m/s; corrected 1989 value) doesn't
fit any earthly phenomanon so far observed. We used the idea that the waves
involved were waves in dark matter since dark matter is everywhere. Pheromones
may also provide a means of communication. There is much recorded data around,
that includes communication between plants and people, that has likely been
taken too lightly. The w-wave theory makes communication effects much more feasible.
